Picasso, Pick-Up Lines, & Personalized Medicine: mRNA's Path ForwardOverall, my presentation on what the mRNA industry can learn from the artist Picasso singled out a few specific areas from which I felt our industry could garner greater inspiration and operational prowess. But given how “collaborative” many of these sources of inspiration are, I’ve introduced each of my takeaways with a surprisingly relevant (albeit bad) art-themed pick-up line. After all, if there’s one sector that knows it takes more than one to “tango,” it’s the mRNA industry.

Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

What Violin Making Can Teach Us About mRNA Therapeutic QualityManaging the mRNA supply chain and working in mRNA process development may not look anything like the work a luthier does to hew an instrument from an ancient spruce tree. But violin craftmanship actually serves as a fantastic metaphor for the challenging work the mRNA therapeutics space is tackling in sourcing and qualifying raw materials and optimizing the critical IVT reaction.

SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CPI’s Claire MacCleod shares the biological and logistical hurdles currently keeping full enzymatic production of siRNA at bay.
Explore a state-of-the-art GMP facility focused on CRISPR based Cell and Gene therapies with helping temperature controlled warehouse and multiple synthesis suites.
As CRISPR technology evolves beyond the original Cas9, gRNAs are transitioning from simple targeting tools into highly engineered, complex molecules. In this Advancing RNA Live segment, speakers April Sena, Max De Long, and Venkat Krishnamurthy discuss how the rise of diverse nucleases — including prime editors — is impacting gRNA synthesis and purity.
Can we actually achieve metric-ton siRNA production using enzymatic ligation? While the ligation step is highly scalable, upstream "blockmer" synthesis remains the primary bottleneck. Advancing RNA Live panelists Claire MacCleod and Jill Caswell discuss the shift from "scaling out" to "scaling up" and lessons learned in the process of achieving larger-scale production.
